Gayong

Wasn't interested in this movie at start, but decided to accompany my husband to watch because he is a fan of Silat.

Gayong filem turn out way better than expected. Filem shared about how Dato Meor history of building silat. And how our national hero and community stood strong against the Japanese during the WW period, the unity is strong and touching. This is something that reflects and remind us of how our community should always be strong together in the past present and also the future. My husband and I like how it portrays how silat been pass on for the centuries to what it is today. Malay national history baik la!

I will always show love to my country and respect my national hero! Support Gayong filem!

Outstanding acting by Beto and Nabilah. Bloopers scenes were obvious and visible (ie. Fighting scene in changing room, baby changing size, props). Sections in story line disconnected, fragmented and could have been ironed out better. Also cause and reactions disconnect, unnatural & questionable outcome. Message is positive and commended, ie. Honor, integrity, togetherness, adab etc., but scripted in the manner of desperately pushing it a bit too far, leaving cringing feeling; almost like having too much MSG in a meal (can be nice if just enough, but when too much it leaves a bad taste). Too much pre built-up on certain supposedly significant characters or item (sword) failed to be developed properly (wasted airtime).

A bit fell short for me after all the hype, sorry. I guess i shouldnt have put up too high of an expectation. Epilogue was so exciting but kinda went down from there. If like me, u like local war movies for the likes of Bukit Kepong 1981 or Leftenan Adnan (and these probably had less budget and technological advances back then) please proceed with the mindset expecting something less. Probably better experience if u have the mindset to just simply enjoy the martial arts performance (actors were good). Dont put expectations on the storyline, script or technicalities of production. Sorry hope this is taken positively as a constructive comment as im hopeful that our local industry only soars to be better in the international scene. But definitely A for the effort!

Overall The Action of this movie combine with has Silat. Muay Thai. Karate. And Kung Fu All In One was pretty Mid. But for a little low budget For this movie i think it'll give it a shot. Beto did a well done and along with Other actor such as yayan ruhian. Eric Chen. Plus with International Actor. The Cinematography. Script. Was pretty decent For This Movie. Not too many good to Said. But Compare To Mat Kilau I can said It's Almost The same energy Expect different concept. But for this movie I'll give it a solid 7.5/10 it was pretty Mid-good movie. But they can improve more for upcoming movie.

It is a good film, based on legendary figure in Malaysia, a silat grandmaster. I think it have a lot of potential, but maybe because of a low budget so it looks cheap and "can do better" feel because the director is a well experienced director so how much epic ca he do with a tight budget? If we want to talk about a weakness, sure there is a lot of weakness such as poor cgi and anything but we cant deny how meticulous they want to make the fighting scene to make sure it looks really good and stylish. Anyone expect for this movie to at least looks the same par as Mat Kilau must remember that this movie is about the journey of malaysian silat grandmaster, its totally different theme. With very low budget.
